The Roman Catholic Church demands celibate priests. This is so that they can focus more on God and not be distracted. It would also be more of a burden to take care of the parish and the family at the same time.

Can suspended greek orthodox priests still consider themselves as priests If a greek orthodox priest is not in good standing with his church can he solemnize marriage?
A suspended Orthodox priest is still a priest, however, he is not allowed to perform any of the functions of a priest while he is under suspension. So he cannot solemnize a marriage if he has been suspended. If he has been defrocked, this is much more serious, and means that he is no longer a priest. If you are in doubt about whether he is suspended or defrocked, you should contact his bishop or the Archdiocese office to confirm his status.

Did the priest walk behind the veil or did god let him in?
In the context of the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Book of Exodus, the priest, particularly the High Priest, was allowed to enter the Holy of Holies behind the veil only once a year on Yom Kippur. This act was seen as a direct encounter with God, facilitated by strict rituals and purification processes. Therefore, it can be interpreted that God permitted the High Priest to enter, symbolizing divine presence and holiness rather than the priest walking in freely.
